Meeting

I haven't had a meeting with my photographer for 2 weeks now which is pretty disappointing. We arranged to do a photoshoot for beauty products this week but he didn't show up. So my tutor told me to find another photographer who was willing to do my shoot as well as their own. So I spoke to Wezz and we arranged to do that for the next week, later that day Lewis my photographer showed up and was pretty upset about the situation so I had to cancel my shoot with Wezz and arrange a shoot with Lewis (again). Let's hope he turns up this time!

Photoshoot Moodboard

Here is a Moodboard for my photo shoot including ideas for make-up, hair, location and jewellery. This will help me decide what i want my photoshoot to look like and what i want to achieve.

Weekly diary

Here is a material I tried to dye to use for a sample. It went wrong as you can see the dye hasn't stayed on and you can see the original colour of the material which is blue. Therefore I will not be doing this in the future because it wastes a lot of time.

Here is a sample I did of my kimono. I used a light material to see whether it will give the draped effect I wanted to achieve so I could make my garment using a similar material in different colour. I like show shape of the kimono it is very oversized and has elements from the Shuka. 

Final designs

 

Here are 6 illustrations of my final designs. I was inspired by my chosen tribe and the Valentino S/S 14 collection I look at. The formal elements I looked at the most were colour and shapes as I found them more visually interesting. I have labeled the materials I will be using like satin and cotton because they are the fabrics the people from the tribe would wear 

Weekly diary... Samples

Here are samples I made on a mini mannequin, I tried to make different shapes like the crossed drapped cropped top. I also used bright colours which links to my tribe. 

FLAT ILLUSTATIONS

 

These are my flat illustrations that I created in digital taking inspiration from the

Massai tride and the Valentino S/S 14 collection.
